Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to pumps and related methods and more specifically to peristaltic pumps and methods for pumping fluids that are useful in a variety of medical and non-medical applications.
  • Peristaltic pumps are devices that transfer fluid through one or more elongate, at least partially flexible, tube(s) by compressing each tube in a peristaltic manner. Fluid transport through the tube is effectuated by moving a region of compression along the length of the tube. Such movement of the region of compression is typically achieved by way of one or more rollers or reciprocating pushers that progressively move an area of compression along the length of the tubing to thereby pump fluid through the tubing in a peristaltic motion.
  • Such pumps are often used in medical applications including intravenous or subcutaneous infusion, withdrawal of fluids as in wound drainage systems as well as various laboratory instruments and industrial applications, such as industrial applications where toxic or corrosive fluids are pumped.
  • Typical linear peristaltic pumps include those described in United
  • Rotary peristaltic pumps generally dispose a resilient tube along a circular path, with a number of rollers mounted around the circumference of a circular rotor-sequentially rolling along the tube to occlude the tube and force liquid through the tube.
  • Typical of such pumps are those disclosed in United States Patent Nos. 4,886,431 (Soderquist et al.) and 3,172,367 (King), the entire disclosures of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. These pumps often have relatively low efficiency and impose high shear and tension stresses on the tube causing internal tube wall erosion or spallation.
  • the tube may eventually be permanently deformed so that the tube becomes flattened into a more oval shape and carries less liquid.
  • peristaltic pump wherein a tube is arranged along a circular path and a cylindrical cam that rotates eccentrically is used to sequentially move a plurality of blunt pushers or fingers to sequentially compress regions of the tube from one end of the path to another and of the path.
  • Examples of such pumps are described in German Patent No. 2,152,352 (Goner) and Italian Patent No. 582,797 (Tubospir), the entire disclosures of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
  • these "finger" type peristaltic pumps tend to be less complex than linear peristaltic pumps.
  • the pressure exerted by the blunt fingers on the tubing can reduce the useable life of the tubing and can, in at least some cases, cause internal tube wall erosion or spallation resulting in possible loss of particulate matter from the tube wall into the fluid stream.
  • tubes with different wall thicknesses may not be accommodated by these pumps, since with thinner than standard tubes the fingers will not properly occlude the tube and with thicker than standard tubes the tube will close prematurely and be subject to excessive compression, requiring higher cam drive power and causing excessive wear on the cam and tube.
  • peristaltic pump One type of peristaltic pump that is especially effective is the curvilinear peristaltic pump described in United States Patent No. 5,791 ,881 (Moubayed et al.), the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • a resilient tube is disposed against a generally circular platen and a rotating cam member sequentially and radially moves a plurality of fingers such that the fingers compress the tube and force the fluid through the tube in a peristaltic fashion.
  • the cam drives the pump fingers in a radial direction.
  • the pump fingers extend in a radial direction from the curved cam surface, the pump must be large enough (in the radial direction) to accommodate the outer radial length of the cam, the height of the pump fingers and the thickness of the concave curved platen.
  • the present invention provides peristaltic pump devices
  • rotary axial peristaltic pumps (sometimes referred to herein as "rotary axial peristaltic pumps”) and methods which provide advantages and/or useful improvements or differences over the peristaltic pumps of the prior art.
  • rotary axial peristaltic pumps that provide smooth fluid delivery, low drive torque power requirements, and/or less complexity than the conventional peristaltic pumps of the prior art.
  • a peristaltic pump device which generally comprises a platen assembly including a platen surface, a cam having a rotational axis and a cam surface spaced apart from the platen surface.
  • the device comprises a plurality of fingers having a first portion in cooperative engagement with the cam surface and a second portion adjacent the platen surface and structured to engage and compress a tubing disposed along the platen surface.
  • the device may further include a housing containing the cam and fingers.
  • the platen assembly, cam and fingers may be operatively configured such that, when the cam is rotated about its rotational axis, the second portions of the fingers will reciprocate in a direction that is substantially parallel to the rotational axis of the cam, such that when a fluid filled compressible tubing is disposed along the platen surface, the reciprocating motion of the second portions of the fingers will effect pumping of the fluid through the tubing.
  • the platen may comprise a substantially planar surface that is configured to receive a portion of compressible tubing parallel thereto.
  • the platen assembly may include one or more tube holding member(s) (e.g., clips, ribs, notches, magnets, grooves, recesses, etc.) that hold or retain the compressible tubing in a desire position or configuration between the platen surface and the second portions of the fingers.
  • the tube holding member(s) may comprise a plurality of spaced apart rib members, extending from the platen surface and including features, for example, cut out regions, for receiving and securing a tubing in an appropriate position along the platen surface.
  • the platen assembly may comprise a door that is hingedly or pivotally connected to the housing, wherein such door includes the platen surface on an interior surface thereof.
  • the door may be structured to facilitate installation and removal of the tubing, and maintenance of the device by allowing easy access to the tubing carrier as well as the fingers and/or other components of the system.
  • the fingers of the pump may reciprocate back and forth on longitudinal axes that are generally perpendicular to the cam surface and generally parallel to an axis of rotation about which the cam rotates.
  • elevations or lobes on the cam may cause the fingers to move in a direction substantially parallel to the cam rotational axis.
  • the cam surface may be described as including a path, or a cam race on which the first portions of the fingers ride as the cam moves.
  • the fingers may be aligned along a path defined by the cam race.
  • the cam race is preferably located on a peripheral region of the cam, such cam race having one or more race surface(s) upon which the fingers ride.
  • An axial plane may be projectable through the race surface(s), such axial plane being substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation about which the cam rotates.
  • the cam race includes elevated regions or lobes which, when the cam is rotated about the rotational axis, cause the second portions of the fingers to move back and forth along their longitudinal axes, thereby sequentially compressing and decompressing the tubing to effect pumping of fluid through the tubing.
  • the first ends of the fingers may include moving members, for example rollers mounted on or within first ends of the fingers. These moving members (e.g., rollers) may contact and roll or otherwise move along the cam race as the cam surface moves along the rotational path.
  • these rollers may be substantially spherical.
  • the cam surface may include a substantially concave race.
  • Such concave race may be configured such that the radius of the race is larger than the radius of the rollers.
  • each of the rollers will contact the cam race at a "point" or limited area of contact.
  • the race may comprise a groove or depression such that each of the rollers will contact opposing locations on the opposite side walls of the groove or depression.
  • the race may comprise a tapered groove and the rollers may be correspondingly tapered so as to ride on a tapered wall of the race.
  • the race may comprise a raised area or rail and the rollers may be correspondingly configured so as to ride on such raised area or rail.
  • the race may comprise a wavy or curved cam surface and the rollers may be maintained in positions that cause the rollers to ride on such wavy or curved surface.
  • the pump may incorporate spring(s) or other biasing apparatus for actively retracting the fingers after they have compressed the tubing as intended, without requiring the fingers to be linked to the cam in such a way as to cause the cam to actively pull the fingers away from the tubing.
  • the fingers may interact with spring(s) or other biasing apparatus that cause retraction of the second end of each finger in a direction away from the platen surface after that finger has caused the desired compression of the tubing.
  • the fingers may interact with spring(s) or other biasing apparatus that substantially maintain the fingers in operative engagement with the cam surface.
  • Such spring(s) or other biasing apparatus may be structured to allow for a more precise degree of control over the operation of the fingers, and more precise control over pumping overall, relative to prior art devices which rely on resiliency or springiness of the tubing to cause retraction of pump fingers and/or which require the fingers to be coupled to the cam such that the cam not only pushes each finger to compress the tubing but also pulls each finger to cause it to retract away from the tubing.
  • tip members may be located on the ends of some or all of the pump fingers. Such tip members may be spring biased or otherwise biased to provide a controlled amount of compressive force on the tubing such that the lumen of the tubing will be fully occluded or "pinched off" when the finger reaches its point of maximum travel but the compressive force on the tubing will not be so strong as to cause unnecessary stress or wear on the tubing. In at least some embodiments, the tip members will be narrower than the width of the compression surface of the finger. Such tip members may be shaped to provide for a discrete occlusion zone that extends transversely across the tubing when the finger reaches its point of maximum travel.
  • the pump device may optionally include a strain gauge transducer or other apparatus that provides an indication of the degree or amount of deflection, expansion or contraction of the tubing as fluid is being pumped through the tubing.

  • ribs 63 may be sized and positioned to fit between the second portions 48 of adjacent fingers 44. This is shown, for example, in Figure 2. In some embodiments the ribs 63 may be sized and positioned to facilitate alignment of the cassette tubing carrier 60 when the tubing carrier 60 is installed to the front housing surface 62.

  • the amount of deflection of the strain gage beam 133 varies directly with the amount of pressure within the tubing 50 at the location of that pressure detection device 132, 133.
  • Any conventional strain gauge transducer may be used. More specifically, the strain gauge beam 133 operates in the following manner.
  • the tubing 50 As the pressure in the tubing 50 increases or decreases, the tubing 50 swells or contracts respectively against the fixed planar platen so as to cause the pressure detecting device 132, 133 to exert a different pressure against the strain gauge beam 133 and thereby change the strain gauge beam deflection.

  • calibrating the electric signal from the strain gauge allows a system to determine the amount of pressure in the tubing for the purpose of pressure reading and occlusion detection.
  • fluid is drawn into the pump tubing 50 from the inlet side. If the inflow of fluid into the pump tubing 50 becomes obstructed, for example if an inlet or supply tube is kinked, or if the source of fluid become depleted, a decrease in pressure in the tubing 50 will occur causing the tubing 50 to collapse and lessen its force against the pressure detection device 132 in the inlet side, thereby causing the stain gauge beam 133 associated with that pressure detection device 132 to deflect towards the tubing 50 as seen in Figure 9B.
  • a controller, computer or processor associated with the pumping device 10 may provide an inlet occlusion alarm or signal and/or may invoke some desired remedial measure such as automatic shut down of the pumping device 10.
  • a controller, computer or processor associated with the pumping device 10 may provide an inlet occlusion alarm or signal and/or may invoke some desired remedial measure such as automatic shut down of the pumping device 10.
  • fluid is pushed out of the outlet end of the pump tubing 50. If the outflow of fluid from tubing 50 becomes obstructed, for example if an outlet tube is blocked or pinched off outside of the pump, an increase in pressure in the pump tubing 50 will occur, thereby causing the tubing 50 to swell.
  • Such swelling of the tubing 50 causes the pressure detection device 134 at the outlet end of the pump device 10 to cause the strain gage beam 133 associated with that pressure detection device 134 to deflect away from the tubing 50 as seen in Figure 9A. If the amount of deflection away from the tubing 50 exceeds a predetermined amount, a controller, computer or processor associated with the pumping device 10 may provide an outlet occlusion alarm or signal and/or may invoke some desired remedial measure such as automatic shut down of the pumping device 10.

Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à des pompes péristaltiques axiales rotatives, à des procédés et à des éléments associés. La pompe péristaltique axiale rotative selon l'invention comprend d'une manière générale un plateau doté d'une surface de plateau, un tube placé de manière adjacente à la surface de plateau, une came qui tourne autour d'un axe de rotation et possède une surface de came qui se trouve à une certaine distance de la surface de plateau, et une pluralité de doigts de compression de tube. Les doigts décrivent l'un après l'autre un mouvement axial de va-et-vient, afin de comprimer de manière séquentielle des segments ou des zones du tube contre la surface de plateau, ce qui provoque le mouvement péristaltique du fluide à travers le tube. Les doigts décrivent un mouvement de va-et-vient sur des axes qui sont sensiblement parallèles à l'axe autour duquel tourne la came.
